Entry 37


 Ann Hamilton's Suite of 12 Iris prints on Arches watercolor paper


Working alongside photographer Aaron Igler, Suite of 12 Iris prints on Arches watercolor paper is a repetition of artist Ann Hamilton behind a layer of glass throughout several periods of the day noting the changes in light and weather patterns. This piece is a wonderful illustration of how changes in a light source affects the visibility of an object. Not only do the changes in light reveal different aspects of the figure behind the glass but they also reveal different details about the glass itself. Oddly, enough this print also shows us that more light doesn't always equal more visibility as the brighter pictures completely wash out the artist's face but the darker pictures really reveal the contours.
